Saturday Movie Matinee: Heaven Help Us

Yesterday’s massacre, the worst school shooting in Connecticut’s history, is a somber reminder of how fleeting life can be and how vulnerable we all are to senseless evil. This fiend was certainly evil to have been able to do such a thing, but as Ace points out– also pathetic. It was likely his pathetic inadequacies that inspired his evil and that should be conspicuously noted because that’s not how murderous psychos like him want to be remembered. He wasn’t a powerful dark force who went down in a blaze of glory – he was a loser and a coward who managed to slaughter a roomful of defenseless toddlers.

Meanwhile, the economy – and this bipartisan, common-sense, pro-jobs plan – remain stuck. What’s more important to Shapiro and the SEC: her selfish legacy or the American job creators crying out for capital to grow and hire?

Is the growing federal debt a looming attack similar to Pearl Harbor? Will Obamanomics lead to the empowerment of the rich and poor, at the expense of the middle class? Find out on this Trifecta.

Whittle: “I no longer see a pathway where the ruination of this nation can be attributed to incompetence or even rank stupidity. There’s no other explanation left to me now that it’s not a deliberate attempt to destroy this economy…”

How we’re all feeling about the horrific Connecticut school shooting set to music:
